For the season two finale of the Aligned Living Podcast I introduce you to my dear friend and colleague, Katarina Wittkamp. Katarina is a yoga teacher, mentor and teacher trainer who has joined me to discuss a very juicy topic… Cult dynamics in the yoga world.
In this episode we talk about what a cult actually is and her personal experience with cult-like dynamics in the yoga world. We explore who might be drawn to cult-like organizations and how she found herself mixed up with one.
We talk about her experience living at an ashram, what was good and bad about this experience and how she finally left. We talk about the signs of cult-like dynamics, what to do if you find yourself in a cult and her healing journey.
This episode is required listening for anyone who engages with the yoga world — student or teacher. It’s a raw and real reflection on the dark side of the yoga industry and I am so grateful to Kat for sharing her experience with us.
